Wow.. This contest really brings out, I think it's called cover swipes (or in todays speak "Homages" and they grumbled because Mattina did a little copying.... Hmmmmmmmmmm.. For the heck of it I searched Ebay for homages, wow there is a lot.. and not even all were listed.. Also I don't see any original artist mentions on the covers.. Though it might be on the inside in the small print..
Nice pick for the contest.. Very Interesting..

I like a properly-credited full-on homage, where the artist clearly signs "after <original artist>" or something like that - on my Batman 251 homage above, Mike Mayhew even mimics the signature of Neal Adams (or maybe even just copy/pasted it?) in his signature "block"

McFarlane did this, for his homage to Action Comics #1. He added "Siegel + Shuster" on the cover next to his signature. (Amazing Spider-Man 306.)

I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for. drchaos private msg quote post Address this user

Meanwhile, Chaos and his Pulp Fiction homage fail to get out of the gate.
